Millions of older Americans are growing old all alone. As Baby Boomers age, and start losing loved ones, loneliness can take its toll.The issue is becoming such a concern some national organizations are stepping in.“This was the one thing I said when I retire, I want to do Meals on Wheels,” says volunteer Donna Reuss.Reuss has been volunteering for the organization Meals on Wheels for six years. She not only brings seniors a free meal, but she’s often the only person they really interact with for weeks at a time.“One of the things that really surprised me when I first started this was how many seniors live alone,” Reuss says.Loneliness can have a big impact on their health. Research shows that lacking social connections can be as harmful to someone’s health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.“It's a much bigger problem I think than people realize,” says Mary Lee Anderson, with Senior Services of Alexandria.Anderson’s nonprofit organization helps deliver food for Meals on Wheels. She’s helping with a new pilot project that lets volunteers delivering meals use a cell phone app to report any changes in behavior or concerns they notice while visiting with a senior.“It lets our volunteers, if they notice a problem, report it right on their phone,” she explains. “That information is sent back to us at the office and we can then contact the individual who is responsible, a family member or their city social worker if they don't have a close family member.”The pilot program is currently being tested in 10 cities across the country, and it’s expected to expand to another 50 cities early next year. 1619

MENLO PARK, Calif. – Facebook is offering to pay some of its users to deactivate their accounts in the weeks leading up to the 2020 election.It’s part of a new research partnership Facebook is launching to better understand the impact its website and Instagram have on key political attitudes and behaviors during U.S. elections.“We need to better understand whether social media makes us more polarized as a society, or if it largely reflects the divisions that already exist; if it helps people to become better informed about politics, or less; or if it affects people’s attitudes towards government and democracy, including whether and how they vote,” said Facebook when it announced the study Thursday.Facebook expects between 200,000 and 400,000 adults will choose to participate in the study. In a press release, the company said participating “could include taking part in surveys or agreeing to see a different product experience.”The company also said, “other participants may be asked to stop using Facebook or Instagram for a period of time. A subset of participants may be asked to install an app on their devices – with their permission – that will log other digital media that they consume.”The press release did not mention compensating participants, but screenshots tweeted out by Washington Post reporter Elizabeth Dwoskin show Instagram users being asked how much they’d need to be paid in exchange for deactivating their account in late September, for either one week or six weeks.Facebook spokesperson Liz Bourgeois responded to Dwoskin’s tweet, saying that anyone who chooses to opt in, whether it’s completing surveys or deactivating Facebook or Instagram for a period of time, will be compensated.“This is fairly standard for this type of academic research,” Bourgeois wrote.Anyone who chooses to opt in – whether it’s completing surveys or deactivating FB or IG for a period of time – will be compensated. This is fairly standard for this type of academic research.

They’re said to be experts in the fields of elections, democracy and social media.Facebook says researchers will select and invite representative, scientific samples of people in the U.S. to participate in the study.“Some potential participants will see a notice in Facebook or Instagram inviting them to take part in the study,” wrote Facebook. “Study samples will be designed to ensure that participants mirror the diversity of the US adult population, as well as users of Facebook and Instagram.”Facebook said last week that the study will start soon and end in December, but it doesn’t expect to publish any findings until mid-2021 at the earliest and it doesn't expect the research to affect the outcome of the election. 3038

Millions of Americans will head to the polls on Tuesday. Many will undoubtedly run into problems trying to cast their vote — be it long lines, language barriers, or intimidation tactics.But remember, all Americans are afforded certain rights when they perform their civic duty — and it's vital that everyone know those rights to ensure every vote is counted.According to the American Civil Liberties Union, these rights are afforded to every voter.Anyone who feels that their right to vote was infringed upon can call the Voter Hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE. The hotline is run by Election Protection, a coalition of lawyer's groups dedicated to voting rights.Voting logisticsIt's not uncommon for polling stations to see long lines on Election Day. But as long as a voter gets in line before that polling station closes, they have the right to vote. Even if there are still hundreds of people ahead of you in line as the polls are closing, stay in line — you will still be allowed to vote.Voters are also allowed to ask for a new ballot if they believe they've made a mistake. All voters should also be given the right to vote on a paper ballot if electronic machines are down.Registration issuesShould a poll worker tell you that you are not listed on a list of registered voters, take the following steps:Have the worker double-check the spelling of your nameAsk if there is a supplemental list of voters.Confirm you are at the correct polling station. If not, ask where your assigned polling station is and how to get there.If the poll worker cannot find your name, ask them to check a statewide system or contact your state's primary election office.Anyone still having issues voting can also vote provisionally. That means a voter can even cast their ballot, but state officials will need to confirm the registration before it is counted. If and when the state guarantees that the voter is registered, the vote is counted.In addition, many states allow voters to register on Eleciton Day. Those states are Alaska, California, Connecticut, Washington, D.C., Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Voters who register the day of the election in Alaska and Rhode Island are only permitted to vote for President.Rights for voters with disabilitiesFederal law requires that all polling stations be fully accessible to all Americans, including those with disabilities. That law includes not just physical disabilities, but it also covers conditions like vision impairment and dyslexia. All polling stations should consist of at least one booth with a voting system that allows those with disabilities to vote privately and independently.Those with disabilities that prevent them from communicating can also receive help from a person of their choice, so long as that person is not their employer, an "agent" of their employer, or an officer of their worker's union.Finally, poll workers must provide "reasonable accommodations" and help voters with disabilities if they can. They cannot deny a voter with a mental disability the right to vote because they feel they are not qualified.Voters with disabilities should also be comfortable asking poll workers if they feel they are unable to stand in line or have other physical limitations that would prevent them from voting.Language barriersUnder the Voting Rights Act, individual counties are required to provide "bilingual assistance to voters in specific languages." Those counties are required to provide all election materials in those languages.Voters who don't speak English can also bring a helper, as long as they are not an employer, an agent of their employer, or a member of their union.Voter intimidationIt is illegal to intimidate, threaten or attempt to coerce a voter at a polling station, and anyone who does would be charged with a federal crime. Forms of intimidation may include:Anyone who questions your citizenship or criminal recordAnyone that falsely identifies themselves as a poll workerAnyone spreading misinformation at a polling stationBe sure to keep an eye out for familiar sources of misinformation at the polls.Speaking or reading English is not a requirement to vote.Voters do not need to pass a test to vote.Some states do not require a photo ID to vote.Anyone who believes they have been victims of voter intimidation can offer a sworn statement to a poll worker and then cast their ballot. Voters can also call the Voter Hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE for help. 4568

MALIBU (CNS) - More Malibu residents forced to flee the Woolsey Fire were back home today, in time to face a rain forecast for Wednesday that raises fears of possible mudslides as the estimated date for full containment of the fire was moved back to Thursday.Since erupting Nov. 8 in Ventura County and quickly spreading into Los Angeles County, the fire has charred 96,949 acres and was 94 percent contained by Monday morning, up from 91 percent earlier in the day.Full containment had been projected to occur Sunday, but that estimate was initially pushed back to Monday and then to Thursday.RELATED: Frantic search goes on for missing after Camp FireThe number of structures destroyed across the two counties has been raised to 1,500, with 341 damaged. About 95 percent of the burn area assessment has been completed. Nearly 1,100 firefighters remained in the battle, including nine hand crews, patrolling the burned area in search of hot spots to put out, fire officials said.Seven helicopters and eight bulldozers were in use. The death toll stands at three civilians, and three firefighters have been injured. The current weather conditions of reduced winds and moderate to good humidity have helped firefighters.RELATED: Fire claims popular recreation spots in Southern CaliforniaHowever, officials in Los Angeles and Ventura counties warned that rain is likely to hit Southern California on Wednesday, raising potential for mud and rock slides, especially along Highway 1 and the canyon roads.Officials have gradually allowed residents to go home as utilities are restored and areas deemed safe. Much of the city of Malibu, however, will be without power until 8 p.m. Monday -- a planned, daylong outage to allow utility crews to replace destroyed and damaged power poles and string new electrical lines.Residents of the Broad Beach area of the Malibu Colony Cove neighborhood returned Sunday in an area bounded by the ocean on the south, Malibu City limit on the north, Guernsey Avenue on the east and the Ventura County line on the west.Evacuation orders were also lifted in the Malibu Colony Cove neighborhood from the ocean on the south, the Malibu City Limit on the north, Puerco Canyon Road on the east and Paradise Cove Road on the west; and for the Las Virgines Road/Malibu Canyon Road areas from the Malibu City limit on the south to Mulholland Highway on the north, with Mulholland Highway still closed westbound from Malibu Canyon Road.Latigo Canyon, Corral Canyon, Ramirez Canyon and Puerco Canyon roads remained closed north of PCH. Evacuation orders were lifted in the Topanga area from PCH to Mulholland Drive on Friday. Evacuation orders also were lifted in Malibu Lakes, and the following areas: -- Mulholland Highway on the north, Bulldog Mountain Way on the south, Lake Shore Drive on the east and Shadow Creek Drive on the west.Mulholland Highway will remain closed eastbound at Cornell Road and westbound at Troutdale Road due to bridge damage. -- Pacific Ocean on the south, Malibu City limit on the north, Paradise Cove on the east and Guernsey Avenue on the west. Latigo Canyon and Corral Canyon roads will be open from PCH to the Malibu City limit but areas north of those locations will remain closed.RELATED: Billions worth of homes threatened by California wildfiresEvacuation orders also were pulled for the Seminole Springs neighborhood between Kanan Road on the north, Cadenhorn Drive on the south, Trousdale Drive on the east and Seminole Drive on the west. Westbound Mulholland Highway west of Seminole Drive and southbound Kanan Road south of Triunfo Canyon Road will stay closed.The Los Angeles County Emergency Operations Center issued a safety statement for people returning to their homes after the Woolsey Fire. Fire officials warned people using Malibu Canyon Road to be aware of falling debris, including rocks that may be dislodged by unstable soil. Post- fire areas adjacent to mountains and hills are known for their ability to produce rock and debris flows, which can form quickly.Additionally, areas not prone to flooding may now be at larger risk because of higher than normal flows from streams and rivers. In preparation for rain -- anticipated Wednesday night into Thursday -- officials in Los Angeles and Ventura counties have transitioned into emergency response mode, with an emphasis on debris, flood fighting and support activities. Those activities include the monitoring of all flood facilities and equipment, the operation of debris dams and providing logistics support, field operations and responses to emergencies. Sandbags and sand were being made available to all residents at Los Angeles County and Ventura County fire stations. Disaster Assistance Centers were opened to help residents affected by the blaze.Customers were reminded to bring proper photo ID to obtain their mail at the USPS Facility at 7101 S. Central Ave. between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. today through Friday. They will be closed Thanksgiving but reopen Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. They are located at the former Malibu Courthouse at 23525 Civic Center Way, and at the Conrad L. Hilton Foundation, 30440 Agoura Road, in Agoura Hills.Authorities noted that the assistance centers would not be affected by the daylong power outage in the Malibu area. Pepperdine University officials announced the campus would be without power during the planned outage. Malibu schools were expected to remain closed at least through the Thanksgiving weekend.Officials of the Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District said a certified staff of specialists will begin cleaning the schools so they are ready to ropen after the holiday. The Los Angeles County Waterworks District No. 29 in Malibu and Las Virgenes Municipal Water District determined their tap water is safe to drink and no longer has to be boiled for drinking or cooking, officials said.Residents were urged not to try to restore their gas service but to contact SoCal Gas to do it. They also were cautioned to watch out for workers restoring services. 6072
